Allu Arjun gets bail hours after arrest in theatre stampede case

The Telangana High Court on Friday granted a four-week interim bail to actor Allu Arjun, who was arrested earlier in the day by the city police in connection with the death of a woman during the screening of his latest movie 'Pushpa 2' here last week.

The High Court order came shortly after the actor was remanded to judicial custody for 14 days by a local court. He was sent to the jail at Chanchalguda here following the remand, amid tight security arrangements.

The High Court pronounced the order granting bail to Arjun while he was being taken to the jail.

The court directed the actor to cooperate with the authorities in the investigation, while granting him interim bail.

A woman died and her son was critically injured during the stampede at Sandhya Theatre during the premiere show attended by Allu Arjun.

A police team from Chikkadpally police station took the actor into custody from his house in Jubilee Hills.
